And fools shine on Lyrics
Come and see me, Can't you see me
It's so easy, to believe in you
I believed in you
Your attention, my addiction
Fear no evil, you'll be safe in here
I was saved in here
And fools shine on, when fools shine on
Want tomorrow, no tomorrow
Come together, for the here and now
And I need it now
Walk the narrow, straight and narrow
Look behind me there's a light out there,
In your light I stare
And fools shine on, when fools shine on
Where your eyes won't open, fade or divide
Peace, on your darkest hours bathe in your light
yeah
Come and see me, can't you see me
Come to see me, you'll be saved in here
And fools shine on, when fools shine on
And fools shine on, where fools shine on
It's so easy, to believe in you
I believed in you
Your attention, my addiction
Fear no evil, you'll be safe in here
I was saved in here
Come together, for the here and now
And I need it now
Walk the narrow, straight and narrow
Look behind me there's a light out there,
In your light I stare
Peace, on your darkest hours bathe in your light
yeah
Come to see me, you'll be saved in here
And fools shine on, where fools shine on

heavy, ugly, fucking great song.
Reminds me of Live's Lakini's Juice.
Does anyone know the meaning of this song? I don't want to believe it, but my first thought was that the lyrics are bashing Christianity. It seems that the first verse, for example, might be addressing principles of the religion (i.e. allowing Jesus into your heart, the idea that God is everywhere, and son on). I like the guitar work in thee song, so it would be a shame to me if this is, in fact, the whole idea behind the song.
My other thought, though, is that the song is addressing followers. The chorus could be referring to people that follow in the footsteps of others only because they want to be judged as "normal," and are afraid to take a path of their own.
Any ideas?

Lyrically...it is a very deep song, probing both the followers of Christianity, AND its followers.

It is a song about discovering that EVERYTHING your parents told you to believe is a lie.

Don't be ashamed or afraid if those lyrics find a very DEEP profoundness inside your soul... from a place you are afraid to search yet...

Uhh...to clarify the 2nd line...I meant that it probes the MEANING of Christianity AND its followers...

Actually kirbsta I think it is the exact opposite. It is not bashing Christianity, but telling people to come to Christ. The key is knowing 1Corinthians. 1 Cor 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Cor 3:18 No one should deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, he must become foolish so that he can become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness and again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile. This is my opinion, I could be wrong. I searched Google for more info on the song. All I found for Brother Kane was a snack web site.
In my opinion the song could have multiple meanings to multiple people - (Which is always good for sales!) - For example "Sting" was taken aback when a couple had an opportunity to meet him and told him "Every breath you take" Was "THEIR" song; (thinking it was a love song) Until Sting revealed the lyrics were actually about a "Former ex-lover, becoming a disgruntled and obsessed STALKER!" In the Brother Cane video: It appeared to me that they were playing in and around a huge "Tesla Sphere" (You've all seen the small decorative electrical glass spheres) Years ago physisist/and engineer known for designing the "alternating-current"(AC) electric system - still used across the world today, Nikola Tesla had been famous for an experiment dealing with electromagnetism,' "A global wireless system which could have supplied everyone with free and wireless electricity throughout the world. But needed funding. He finally received funding from a financial group of investors including financial giant J.P. Morgan. In the 1800s Tesla began building a lab with a power plant and a massive transmission tower on a site on Long Island,New York. It Was financially abandoned by many investors who also had large stocks in "Fossil fuel" industries destined to make a LOT more $$$ for many years to come. So he was forced to abandon it,(suddenly daunted with potential doubts, dangers, etc...) and sell it for scrap. If there's any doubt to if it would have eventually worked...turn on your radio...try your cell phones etc... (Then again...could be about God like everyone else thinks.)
@gunnarmagrath - No, the video was shot on one of the terraces at The Griffith Observatory in Hollywood California, the same place the planetarium and knife fight scenes in the James Dean movie "Rebel Without A Cause" were shot.. - In fact the dome structure you were referring to is in fact the planetarium. I've been there many times and have stood right where the music video was shot many times.

The imagery with the female and the electricity in the video is a direct reference to the 1927 silent movie "Metropolis".

Seems pretty blatantly about drugs/addiction.i guess is open to interpretation for ones preferred “drug of choice” inc religeon....but my guess is is written quite literally about drug addiction.
I immediately thought it was about dope myself also when I heard it. Possibly being sober looking back at everyone still using. Heating those spoons, shining on...
